Rayleigh Wind Retrieval for the Aladin Airborne Demonstrator of the Aeolus Mission Using Simulated Response Calibration

Aeolus, launched on 22 August 2018, is the first ever satellite to directly observe wind information from space on a global scale. An airborne prototype called ALADIN Airborne Demonstrator (A2D) was developed at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for validating the Aeolus measurement principle based...
